From the reviews: "The five authors of this book tackle a very difficult subject, and must be commended for doing so. The result is a welcome addition to the body of professional literature. ... It is a highly technical ... book on one of the most critical subjects that we have, as professionals. ... The book is exceedingly well illustrated. ... a professional involved in systems engineering, and particularly in systems quality, verification, systems verification, or other related activities, would find this book useful."
